EDITORIAL BREVITIES.

CATTLE in Ireland sympathize with
the depressed condition of the country.
Market for cattle is ruinously low and
grazlers are preparing to take advantage
OF the bankrupt act.
GOODBYE, anarchist. The K. of L.
assembly orders that only state and ma
tional colors be carried in parades Of the
order. The RED Flag" will wave no
more.
DON PEDRO denies all reports Of his
rumored resignation Of authority. The
dignity that hedges a throne becomes
him well. He is no exception to the
rule. His hold on power does not
cramp his fingers until he Is compelled to
relinguish his grasp.
ATLANTA undertook larger contract
than she could carry out In entertaining
his obesity, the president. The lack Of
sleeping accommodations and food
amounts to famine. or mud and rain
there are enough and to spare.
BoULANGER just now is getting more
curses than cOppers, but there Is am
pie evidence to show that he was In no
way implicated In the sale OF decOra-
lions. How far he has intrigued to gain
the control OF military power In France
is another question.
Nor only are Irish papers prohibited
from publishing news Of the league, but
the news agents are prohibited from
distributing papers that contain any
reference to the national league. The
Johnies will have q sweet time suppress
sing Patrick to that extent. Like the
boot.black and the old veterans bro
gsns-It Is government contract.
GLADSTONE expressed himself before
the liberal federation as hopeful of the
Irish situation, and referring to the
hopelessness of better things until there
was complete reversal Of the policy
pursued by government, said: "We do
not believe in definitely adjourning the
discussion Of so great and crying wants
| under which the country is suffering,
for we believe from all the signs around
us that the great controversy will In no
long time be satisfactorily and trium-
phantly settled"
JEFF DAVIS picture, draped with the
confederate cOlors, was one OF the Deco
rations in Atlanta which greeted the
presidential vision as he rode through
the streets. This incident, which passed
without any rebuke, makes loyal sol
oilers and civilians feel that great dis
grace has fallen upon this nation when
its chief magistrate is welcomed with all
the insignia OF rebellion, and has not =
triotism enough in his soul to know that
the government is insulted in his pres
enoe.
STATE COMPTROLLER MCCALL after an
exhaustive examination OF the case,
concludes that the state has no authori-
ty to levy an occupation tax upon a
national bank. II, now, the state legis-
lature in the happy exercise OF a spssm
Of wisdom which II does not naturally
possess should decree the abolition OF
all occupation taxes in this state a long
stride forward would be taken In the
highway Of commercial progress. Tax
| ing a mans occupation and levying a
tax upon his person, are twin relics Of
barbRTism and should no longer dis
| grace the statute book Of the state.

KANSAS.

EDITOR INTELLIGENCER:-I have
been urged by many friends and ac-
quaintances to "drop line" in my
rambles over the west, and my best
way is to give some briet sketches to the
lntelligencer, the paper which is read
by almost everybody in Lafayette
county.
Leaving Higginsville on the evening
of the 10th, | had an opportunity to
take the 10 O'Clock train for southern
Kansas at night, but desiring to see all
the good and bad there is in the great
central state of the Union, 1 remained
till ~ o'clock the next day. Round
trip land excursion tickets can be pro-
cured over the Southern Kansas Rail-
way good for thirty days for eleven
dollars. This is very cheap riding.
A straight ticket to Medicine Lodge,
the terminus OF the road, can be pur-
chased for So 95, and from there over
land sixty miles by stage. four dollars,
to the live aud rapidly growing town
of Coldwater, in Comanche county.
Leaving Kansas City at 10, a. m.,
had good view by daylight of all
towns along the line of road to Well
ington, where we rested over night.
All the country is well settled with
prosperous farmers and dotted along
the line with thrifty towns and villages,
wellington is a town of 10000 inhabi-
tants, with four daily papers, and is

green, and great piles of corn were

Land here is up to $50 and S75 per
acre. Here the orchards look well, a
far peach crop is expected. When l
reached Medicine Lodge l was in the
midst of sandy plain that outrivaled
anything ever saw in Wyoming or
Montana. The scrubby trees along
the sandy streams appeared unwilling
to point heavenward, and like umbreI.

the country ever gets any rain. learn

country at Medicine Lodge, and that
the rains have not visited the sandy
plains for many months. In spite OF
all this the town is grow ing and has
fine trade. Here l met Mr.. VIM. G.
Musgrove Of the Index, formerly of
Lexington. His smiles and fine look
ing office told the story that he was
well satisfied with his new home and
business. This locality is well adapted
to grazing, raising peanuts, potatoes,
sorghum, millet, and some corn. The
Medicine river with its many sandy
tributaries has plenty of stock water.
Here we crowded into the stage and
those that could not get inside climbed
on top, and all mingled together, bank

Love Knows.

[Boston Transcript
Beyond my vain repining,
Beyond the "silver lining"
Among the stars thou'rt shining,
Yet all my heart dIvining:
For Love would know.
A shining robe thou wearest,
A golden harp thou Dearest,
Thy love on earth was rarest,
And now for ME thou carest;
For Love can know.
Love tends the heavenly wires,
Love knoweth loves desires;
Though mid angelic chOirs,
Love heeds and never tires;
For Love must know.
/ cannot lose thee, dearest,
When tartbeSt thou art nearest,
The tangled way thou clesrest,
And every hour thou cheerest;
For Love does know.
